My mom always talks bad stuff about bacon such that it's cancerous, and rubbish food. Is that true? I don't think so personally. I know that it's really fatty but not to the point where it will give me cancer. I barely eat bacon btw

Excellent article---worth a quick read.

If you eat a lot of burnt bacon, it could cause cancer ... Same as any other burnt meats.

Now I want bacon....Dang it.

Bottom line, Too much of anything *and I do mean a lot" will kill you one way or another.

Way back when I was a kid our parents were told, "drinking too much carbonated beverages would kill you". Knee jerk reaction was, "all kids forbidden from drinking carbonated beverages". Then the truth was put out by the University of California. Using a mathamatical formula developed by a grad student, it was determined if you drank 60 gallons of a carbonated beverage each day for one year the ingredients of carbonated beverages would eat you up from the inside out.

If it were true Little Kitty, I'd be dead.  I love bacon!

I personally love bacon!  I'm no expert, but I believe moderation is the key when it comes to most things in life.

(Asian moms say everything causes cancer 😂) and this is gonna be a sucky answer because it's 4 am in the morning...

It's something about the chemical reactions with high heat. Creates new chemicals that increase cancer risk. It's Google-able. May be reliable or not, but it looks pretty decent to me. I would not say the government is in on bashing bacon, since they subsidize animal agriculture.  There's also increased cancer risk with processed meats such as lunch meat popular turkey and ham.

I say DEFINITELY be careful about consuming too much of it, frequently. Maybe space it out to a few times a month, or every two months. Even in alternative recipes, like in vegan "bacon" (made from rice paper), ingredients like the liquid smoke flavoring correlate with cancer risk.

Everyone not being educated on their food...this is probably part of the reason why cancer is so common in the U.S.

That's bogus, the only reason bacon would be bad is that it's really dense in calories and really easy to over eat. 2 slices of fried bacon is already 100 calories. 10 slices is already a third of a dormant persons caloric goal.
